Who We Are
Fåntell is a family-owned investment company backing exceptional founders and high-potential companies across Europe.
We’re not an institution — we’re long-term owners with a background in building software businesses. That experience shapes how we invest: flexibly, without predefined exit timelines, and with a deep appreciation for what it takes to build something enduring.
We invest across stages — from early startups to mature businesses and fund commitments — typically as a co-investor alongside trusted partners. Our approach is grounded in alignment, not control. We aim to complement, not compete with, existing teams and investors.
How We Invest
We invest with discipline, flexibility, and a strong sense of fit. Our sweet spot is scalable, software-driven businesses — but we stay open to opportunities where our capital, experience, and network can make a difference.
Our investments fall into three categories:
Early-stage Investments
We back founders with a clear vision, early traction, and alignment with our software DNA — typically alongside experienced co-investors.
Mature Company Investments
Select direct stakes in later-stage companies, in partnership with like-minded investors.
Fund Investments
LP positions in top-tier venture and private equity funds, investing alongside leading institutions and families.
